A photograph of a temple shrine with a large gilded arch framing two painted deity murtis, a tall figure of Shiva and Parvati seated on a red-draped platform, garlanded with white and orange flowers. In front, a small seated figure in orange robes is garlanded. Brass oil lamps stand on either side. To the right, a man with long dark hair, wearing an orange shawl and orange dhoti, bare-chested with beaded bracelets and a garland, stands looking toward the shrine; the swami appearance cues are present but not conclusive, so the identity is unsure. A green cloth backdrop and carved granite pillars surround the shrine. One person is visible.
